Quebec City
When: January 1998, about 3 days.
Why: escaped ice-storm that paralyzed Montreal.
Some parts of Quebec city actually look old (Europe style), the way the
old port of Montreal is alleged to look like. A walk near the river,
along the canons, is nice. And of course, since I cannot avoid
mentioning food, they had the best crepes I've ever tasted, in the
old-town. (cheap, too).
